Content and physical description

Content	Ernst Roth has the typescript of the libretto [WHAT PEOPLE LIVE] in front of him, but he is not sure whether special permission for translation is needed. He decides to compare the English text with the original in Russian to see what kind of translation it is. If it is a literary translation, no permission is needed. If a free translation has been made, they must have special permission, or then replace some passages. When he has the text back, he will contact David Adams.
